They didn't set up the barricades on Sat 11/17 when I went, but the cast mostly trickled out to eat or leave between the shows. I'm sure they stop and sign if you recognized them!
I did the stage door tonight, Sunday 11/25. It was great. Neither Waverly nor Phantom were playing so it was all Ferryman coming out the door. I got everyone except Paddy Considine b/c I stupidly turned my back for ten seconds. When I turned back, he was walking down the street. Too much confusion with 3 shows using that SD,
I don't think the actors are accustomed to the SD. There were only about 5 of us at the door. The first few 20-something year old male actors walked out. I had to reach out my poster and sharpie & ask them to sign. They acted surprised that someone would ask, but very willing. They chatted a bit. Such was the case for the others. They did not come out w/sharpies. There were a number of overseas visitors going back stage, so a number of actors came out as a group. I was lucky to have several Irish lady attendees who pointed them out by name. I will get Paddy.
I didn't stop the youngsters. They came out first and were immediately met by their parents, however, I'm sure if asked, it would've been okay.
The goose and rabbit left the show at intermission. I was in front of the theater when the handler picked them up. I jokingly asked if they signed Playbills. She jokingly answered she should get them stamps.
As for barricades, security did set them up the Wednesday b4 Thanksgiving (11/21) matinee, but they did not tonight 11/15. I guess they didn't b/c virtually no one was at the SD and Waverly & Phantom were dark. For me, it was the easiest time I ever had getting a 'graph.
One last note, I didn't ask for selfies b/c I hate getting my picture taken. However, the actors were all so willing to sign, that I'm sure they would've if asked. They were surprised when I told them I have the 'graphed poster professionally framed and hung in my home. I couldn't manage taking photos of them and getting my poster signed so I settled for the signature. I can go back another day for pics. I just hope I can sync a day when the other two shows won't be on the schedule to clog the SD, especially Phantom since it's also a long-running play.

I went to the stage door for Waverly a few weeks ago and between the three shows, there were maybe 20 people there at most.
Is all three shows using the same door new? I remember The Color Purple using a different door for stage door.

The alley next to the Golden is the all-purpose stage door for the Golden, Jacobs and Majestic. However, each of the theaters have alternate exits that can be used to get people in and out. My guess would be that since neither FERRYMAN nor WAVERLY GALLERY draw a large stage door crowd, they don't see the need to set up an alternate stage door to accommodate a lot of waiting people, as they have in the past for other shows.
